A note on claims
EcoloxTech generators are regulated by the EPA as devices, are not registered disinfectants, and we make no efficacy claims for them or for the solution they produce. The only EcoloxTech product with disinfection claims is HOCl-AS200 (EPA Reg. No. 101112-1), used according to its label. What applies where is set out on our regulations page and in staying compliant with HOCl. Research referred to describes published studies under their own test conditions and is not a claim for any product.

Restaurant staff are facing multiple, simultaneous safety challenges that may threaten their guests, employees, foods, and businesses:
- COVID, influenza, and RSV cases are on the rise. In fact, COVID is currently being categorized as a “high” or “very high” outbreak in many areas, with high levels of transmission expected for at least another month or more.
- Highly contagious norovirus outbreaks are more common in colder winter months and are frequently linked to restaurants and other foodservice settings. As we saw in the infamous Chipotle foodborne illness outbreaks years ago, these outbreaks can sometimes be traced to infected workers who may not follow proper handwashing protocols and spread the pathogens via surfaces, equipment, and food to colleagues and customers.
